The Loner

# 1

I'm a loner,
A wanderer of lost spaces,
A collector of unwanted things,
Carrying myself everywhere,
Along with this path taking me somewhere,
Of things, new and undiscovered.

I'm a loner,
Trying to make the most of the alone time I get,
Exploring its prospect,
It's guilty pleasure & Enchanting smiles,
And all that it has to offer.

I'm a loner,
Of motion and dread
I carry it on my side,
Taking everything in like a sponge,
Keeping it in my stride.

Trying to understand this world and its people.
I'm a loner,
That's where I begin
And that's where I'll end.

Why can't they
just take me as
I am?
Why do they ask
me to change?

I wonder if it's
wrong. Just being
you.
Too good for the
world, too good
to be true.

Lash out on me.
call me
crazy, neurotic
And call my ways
pathetic

But one day I'll
rise and shine
Like the little
bird that grows
and flies

But I ponder
everyday.
Why can't they
just take me as
I am?

Why does love leave us, when we need it the most?

  Ever wondered why your heart shatters into pieces knowing that the gaps between those fingers which were once yours, will never be yours again? The conversation which was once meant to bring butterflies in your stomach now brings only grief. Those calls which once comforted your soul, feel like a heavy stone in your heart, isn't it,? This is how a person starts feeling when their heart is left vacant by the only person whom it had considered to love forever. Why does love leave us, when we need it the most? Even I had the same question in my mind when for the first time I got my heart got broken by the one who still resides in it. At that time, the only thing I wanted to do was to stop him from mislaying our bond and plead with him to stay. But nothing really worked because he was no longer in love with me. Years later, I realised that if he would have stopped that day, it would just merely have been for only a few days, not forever. Because to stay forever you need to love someo...

Little Broken Inside

To the ones who feel a little broken inside. You've been through so much, I know. You've been lied to, and you've been hurt. Your heart used to be whole, but now its surfaces are full of cracks, concealed with torn-ups band-aids of the love that you try so hard to give yourself, but it still hurts. You try, you try, to hold on. You tell yourself that one day, it'd stop hurting so much. One day, this pain that you're carrying inside you, it'll go away. You're scared of letting anyone near you because, what if, they end up hurting you again and damaging your already half-dead soul. But that's the thing, you see. You forget. Souls don't die. And hearts - they don't stay broken forever. And all this hurt that you're carrying inside you, that you don't know what to do with one day, you'll wake up to find that they aren't hurting as much. They'll feel like memories from a dream, they'll feel like they're from a different era...

Never Give Up

If you wish to pursue anything in your life, never give up on it. You will undoubtedly encounter problems today or tomorrow, do you truly believe you can accomplish this? look at yourself first, stop wasting your time, you will gain nothing from this, and so on. Rather than listening to those who distract you, show them what you are worthy of by exceeding your own expectations. There is nothing in this world that you do not deserve to reach, all you need is confidence and the proper path, both of which can be developed within yourself. There are moments when you wonder if this thing doesn't mean for you, or if you're anything wrong. Forget it and try to prepare yourself for it.  Nobody is perfect, but you all find perfection in your own imperfections, perceiving that this is what makes you special. People do not mould you. It is your own hands, your own craft, that adds beauty to your achievements. Your skills and capabilities are not what determine your desires. It is your bel...
